TECHNICAL FIELD

Provided herein are biochemical methods of producing albicanol, drimenol and related compounds and derivatives, which method comprises the use of novel polypeptides.

BACKGROUND

Terpenes are found in most organisms (microorganisms, animals and plants). These compounds are made up of five carbon units called isoprene units and are classified by the number of these units present in their structure. Thus monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes and diterpenes are terpenes containing 10, 15 and 20 carbon atoms, respectively. Sesquiterpenes, for example, are widely found in the plant kingdom. Many sesquiterpene molecules are known for their flavor and fragrance properties and their cosmetic, medicinal and antimicrobial effects. Numerous sesquiterpene hydrocarbons and sesquiterpenoids have been identified. Chemical synthesis approaches have been developed but are still complex and not always cost-effective.

Biosynthetic production of terpenes involves enzymes called terpene synthases. There are numerous sesquiterpene synthases present in the plant kingdom, all using the same substrate (farnesyl diphosphate, FPP), but having different product profiles. Genes and cDNAs encoding sesquiterpene synthases have been cloned and the corresponding recombinant enzymes characterized.

Many of the main sources for sesquiterpenes, for example drimenol, are plants naturally containing the sesquiterpene; however, the content of sesquiterpenes in these natural sources can be low. There still remains a need for the discovery of new terpenes, terpene synthases and more cost-effective methods of producing sesquiterpenes such as albicanol and/or drimenol and derivatives therefrom.

Definitions

The term “polypeptide” means an amino acid sequence of consecutively polymerized amino acid residues, for instance, at least 15 residues, at least 30 residues, at least 50 residues. In some embodiments herein, a polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence that is an enzyme, or a fragment, or a variant thereof.

The term “protein” refers to an amino acid sequence of any length wherein amino acids are linked by covalent peptide bonds, and includes oligopeptide, peptide, polypeptide and full length protein whether naturally occurring or synthetic.

The term “isolated” polypeptide refers to an amino acid sequence that is removed from its natural environment by any method or combination of methods known in the art and includes recombinant, biochemical and synthetic methods.

The terms “bifunctional terpene synthase” or “polypeptide having bifunctional terpene synthase activity” relate to a polypeptide that comprises class I and class II terpene synthase domains and has bifunctional terpene synthase activity of protonation-initiated cyclization and ionization-initiated cyclization catalytic activities. A bifunctional terpene synthase as described herein comprises a HAD-like hydrolase domain which is characteristic of polypeptides belonging to the Haloacid dehalogenase (HAD)-like hydrolase superfamily (Interpro protein superfamily IPR023214, www.ebi.ac.uk/interpro/entry/IPR023214; Pfam protein superfamily PF13419, pfam.xfam.org/family/PF13419). A HAD-like hydrolase domain is a portion of a polypeptide having amino acid sequence similarities with the members of the HAD-like hydrolase family and related function. A HAD-like hydrolase domain can be identified in a polypeptide by searching for amino acid motifs or signatures characteristic of this protein family. Tools for performing such searches are available at the following web sites: ebi.ac.uk/interpro/ or ebi.ac.uk/Tools/hmmer/. Proteins are generally composed of one or more functional regions or domains. Different combinations of domains give rise to the diverse range of proteins found in nature. The identification of domains that occur within proteins can therefore provide insights into their function. A polypeptide which comprises a HAD-like hydrolase domain and/or characteristic HAD-like hydrolase motifs functions in binding and cleavage of phosphate or diphosphate groups of a ligand. A bifunctional terpene synthase may also comprise one or more of conserved motifs A, B, C, and/or D as depicted in SEQ ID NO: 59, SEQ ID NO: 60, SEQ ID NO: 61, and/or SEQ ID NO: 62.

The term “drimane sesquiterpene” relates to a terpene having a drimane-like carbon skeleton structure as depicted in FIG. 1.

The term “class I terpene synthase” relates to a terpene synthase that catalyses ionization-initiated reactions, for example, monoterpene and sesquiterpene synthases.

The term “class I terpene synthase motif” or “class I terpene synthase-like motif” relates to an active site of a terpene synthase that comprises the conserved DDxx(D/E) motif. The aspartic acid residues of this class I motif bind, for example, a divalent metal ion (most often Mg²⁺) involved in the binding of the diphosphate group and catalyze the ionization and cleavage of the allylic diphosphate bond of the substrate.

The term “class II terpene synthase” relates to a terpene synthase that catalyses protonation-initiated cyclization reactions, for example, typically involved in the biosynthesis of triterpenes and labdane diterpenes. In class II terpene synthases, the protonation-initiated reaction may involve, for example, acidic amino acids donating a proton to the terminal double-bond.

The term “class II terpene synthase motif” or “class II terpene synthase-like motif” relates to an active site of a terpene synthase that comprises the conserved DxDD or DxD(T/S)T motif.

The terms “albicanol synthase” or “polypeptide having albicanol synthase activity” or “albicanol synthase protein” relate to a polypeptide capable of catalyzing the synthesis of albicanol, in the form of any of its stereoisomers or a mixture thereof, starting from an acyclic terpene pyrophosphate, particularly farnesyl diphosphate (FPP). Albicanol may be the only product or may be part of a mixture of sesquiterpenes.

The terms “drimenol synthase” or “polypeptide having a drimenol synthase activity” or “drimenol synthase protein” relate to a polypeptide capable of catalyzing the synthesis of drimenol, in the form of any of its stereoisomers or a mixture thereof, starting from an acyclic terpene pyrophosphate, particularly farnesyl diphosphate (FPP). Drimenol may be the only product or may be part of a mixture of sesquiterpenes.

The terms “biological function,” “function,” “biological activity” or “activity” refer to the ability of the bifunctional terpene synthase to catalyze the formation of albicanol and/or drimenol or a mixture of compounds comprising albicanol and/or drimenol and one or more terpenes.

The terms “mixture of terpenes” or “mixture of sesquiterpenes” refer to a mixture of terpenes or sesquiterpenes that comprises albicanol and/or drimenol, and may also comprise one or more additional terpenes or sesquiterpenes.

The terms “nucleic acid sequence,” “nucleic acid,” “nucleic acid molecule” and “polynucleotide” are used interchangeably meaning a sequence of nucleotides. A nucleic acid sequence may be a single-stranded or double-stranded deoxyribonucleotide, or ribonucleotide of any length, and include coding and non-coding sequences of a gene, exons, introns, sense and anti-sense complimentary sequences, genomic DNA, cDNA, miRNA, siRNA, mRNA, rRNA, tRNA, recombinant nucleic acid sequences, isolated and purified naturally occurring DNA and/or RNA sequences, synthetic DNA and RNA sequences, fragments, primers and nucleic acid probes. The skilled artisan is aware that the nucleic acid sequences of RNA are identical to the DNA sequences with the difference of thymine (T) being replaced by uracil (U). The term “nucleotide sequence” should also be understood as comprising a polynucleotide molecule or an oligonucleotide molecule in the form of a separate fragment or as a component of a larger nucleic acid.

An “isolated nucleic acid” or “isolated nucleic acid sequence” relates to a nucleic acid or nucleic acid sequence that is in an environment different from that in which the nucleic acid or nucleic acid sequence naturally occurs and can include those that are substantially free from contaminating endogenous material. The term “naturally-occurring” as used herein as applied to a nucleic acid refers to a nucleic acid that is found in a cell of an organism in nature and which has not been intentionally modified by a human in the laboratory.

“Recombinant nucleic acid sequences” are nucleic acid sequences that result from the use of laboratory methods (for example, molecular cloning) to bring together genetic material from more than on source, creating or modifying a nucleic acid sequence that does not occur naturally and would not be otherwise found in biological organisms.

“Recombinant DNA technology” refers to molecular biology procedures to prepare a recombinant nucleic acid sequence as described, for instance, in Laboratory Manuals edited by Weigel and Glazebrook, 2002, Cold Spring Harbor Lab Press; and Sambrook et al, 1989, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y., Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press.

The term “gene” means a DNA sequence comprising a region, which is transcribed into a RNA molecule, e.g., an mRNA in a cell, operably linked to suitable regulatory regions, e.g., a promoter. A gene may thus comprise several operably linked sequences, such as a promoter, a 5′ leader sequence comprising, e.g., sequences involved in translation initiation, a coding region of cDNA or genomic DNA, introns, exons, and/or a 3′non-translated sequence comprising, e.g., transcription termination sites.

A “chimeric gene” refers to any gene which is not normally found in nature in a species, in particular, a gene in which one or more parts of the nucleic acid sequence are present that are not associated with each other in nature. For example the promoter is not associated in nature with part or all of the transcribed region or with another regulatory region. The term “chimeric gene” is understood to include expression constructs in which a promoter or transcription regulatory sequence is operably linked to one or more coding sequences or to an antisense, i.e., reverse complement of the sense strand, or inverted repeat sequence (sense and antisense, whereby the RNA transcript forms double stranded RNA upon transcription). The term “chimeric gene” also includes genes obtained through the combination of portions of one or more coding sequences to produce a new gene.

A “3′ UTR” or “3′ non-translated sequence” (also referred to as “3′ untranslated region,” or “3′end”) refers to the nucleic acid sequence found downstream of the coding sequence of a gene, which comprises, for example, a transcription termination site and (in most, but not all eukaryotic mRNAs) a polyadenylation signal such as AAUAAA or variants thereof. After termination of transcription, the mRNA transcript may be cleaved downstream of the polyadenylation signal and a poly(A) tail may be added, which is involved in the transport of the mRNA to the site of translation, e.g., cytoplasm.

“Expression of a gene” encompasses “heterologous expression” and “over-expression” and involves transcription of the gene and translation of the mRNA into a protein. Overexpression refers to the production of the gene product as measured by levels of mRNA, polypeptide and/or enzyme activity in transgenic cells or organisms that exceeds levels of production in non-transformed cells or organisms of a similar genetic background.

“Expression vector” as used herein means a nucleic acid molecule engineered using molecular biology methods and recombinant DNA technology for delivery of foreign or exogenous DNA into a host cell. The expression vector typically includes sequences required for proper transcription of the nucleotide sequence. The coding region usually codes for a protein of interest but may also code for an RNA, e.g., an antisense RNA, siRNA and the like.

An “expression vector” as used herein includes any linear or circular recombinant vector including but not limited to viral vectors, bacteriophages and plasmids. The skilled person is capable of selecting a suitable vector according to the expression system. In one embodiment, the expression vector includes the nucleic acid of an embodiment herein operably linked to at least one regulatory sequence, which controls transcription, translation, initiation and termination, such as a transcriptional promoter, operator or enhancer, or an mRNA ribosomal binding site and, optionally, including at least one selection marker. Nucleotide sequences are “operably linked” when the regulatory sequence functionally relates to the nucleic acid of an embodiment herein.

“Regulatory sequence” refers to a nucleic acid sequence that determines expression level of the nucleic acid sequences of an embodiment herein and is capable of regulating the rate of transcription of the nucleic acid sequence operably linked to the regulatory sequence. Regulatory sequences comprise promoters, enhancers, transcription factors, promoter elements and the like.

“Promoter” refers to a nucleic acid sequence that controls the expression of a coding sequence by providing a binding site for RNA polymerase and other factors required for proper transcription including without limitation transcription factor binding sites, repressor and activator protein binding sites. The meaning of the term promoter also includes the term “promoter regulatory sequence”. Promoter regulatory sequences may include upstream and downstream elements that may influences transcription, RNA processing or stability of the associated coding nucleic acid sequence. Promoters include naturally-derived and synthetic sequences. The coding nucleic acid sequences is usually located downstream of the promoter with respect to the direction of the transcription starting at the transcription initiation site.

The term “constitutive promoter” refers to an unregulated promoter that allows for continual transcription of the nucleic acid sequence it is operably linked to.

As used herein, the term “operably linked” refers to a linkage of polynucleotide elements in a functional relationship. A nucleic acid is “operably linked” when it is placed into a functional relationship with another nucleic acid sequence. For instance, a promoter, or rather a transcription regulatory sequence, is operably linked to a coding sequence if it affects the transcription of the coding sequence. Operably linked means that the DNA sequences being linked are typically contiguous. The nucleotide sequence associated with the promoter sequence may be of homologous or heterologous origin with respect to the plant to be transformed. The sequence also may be entirely or partially synthetic. Regardless of the origin, the nucleic acid sequence associated with the promoter sequence will be expressed or silenced in accordance with promoter properties to which it is linked after binding to the polypeptide of an embodiment herein. The associated nucleic acid may code for a protein that is desired to be expressed or suppressed throughout the organism at all times or, alternatively, at a specific time or in specific tissues, cells, or cell compartment. Such nucleotide sequences particularly encode proteins conferring desirable phenotypic traits to the host cells or organism altered or transformed therewith. More particularly, the associated nucleotide sequence leads to the production of albicanol and/or drimenol or a mixture comprising albicanol and/or drimenol or a mixture comprising albicanol and/or drimenol and one or more terpenes in the cell or organism. Particularly, the nucleotide sequence encodes a bifunctional terpene synthase.

“Target peptide” refers to an amino acid sequence which targets a protein, or polypeptide to intracellular organelles, i.e., mitochondria, or plastids, or to the extracellular space (secretion signal peptide). A nucleic acid sequence encoding a target peptide may be fused to the nucleic acid sequence encoding the amino terminal end, e.g., N-terminal end, of the protein or polypeptide, or may be used to replace a native targeting polypeptide.

The term “primer” refers to a short nucleic acid sequence that is hybridized to a template nucleic acid sequence and is used for polymerization of a nucleic acid sequence complementary to the template.

As used herein, the term “host cell” or “transformed cell” refers to a cell (or organism) altered to harbor at least one nucleic acid molecule, for instance, a recombinant gene encoding a desired protein or nucleic acid sequence which upon transcription yields a bifunctional terpene synthase protein useful to produce albicanol and/or drimenol. The host cell is particularly a bacterial cell, a fungal cell or a plant cell. The host cell may contain a recombinant gene which has been integrated into the nuclear or organelle genomes of the host cell. Alternatively, the host may contain the recombinant gene extra-chromosomally.

Homologous sequences include orthologous or paralogous sequences. Methods of identifying orthologs or paralogs including phylogenetic methods, sequence similarity and hybridization methods are known in the art and are described herein.

Paralogs result from gene duplication that gives rise to two or more genes with similar sequences and similar functions. Paralogs typically cluster together and are formed by duplications of genes within related plant species. Paralogs are found in groups of similar genes using pair-wise Blast analysis or during phylogenetic analysis of gene families using programs such as CLUSTAL. In paralogs, consensus sequences can be identified characteristic to sequences within related genes and having similar functions of the genes.

Orthologs, or orthologous sequences, are sequences similar to each other because they are found in species that descended from a common ancestor. For instance, plant species that have common ancestors are known to contain many enzymes that have similar sequences and functions. The skilled artisan can identify orthologous sequences and predict the functions of the orthologs, for example, by constructing a polygenic tree for a gene family of one species using CLUSTAL or BLAST programs. A method for identifying or confirming similar functions among homologous sequences is by comparing of the transcript profiles in host cells or organisms, such as plants or microorganisms, overexpressing or lacking (in knockouts/knockdowns) related polypeptides.

The skilled person will understand that genes having similar transcript profiles, with greater than 50% regulated transcripts in common, or with greater than 70% regulated transcripts in common, or greater than 90% regulated transcripts in common will have similar functions. Homologs, paralogs, orthologs and any other variants of the sequences herein are expected to function in a similar manner by making the host cells, organism such as plants or microorganisms producing bifunctional terpene synthase proteins.

The term “selectable marker” refers to any gene which upon expression may be used to select a cell or cells that include the selectable marker. Examples of selectable markers are described below. The skilled artisan will know that different antibiotic, fungicide, auxotrophic or herbicide selectable markers are applicable to different target species.

“Drimenol” for purposes of this application relates to (−)-drimenol (CAS: 468-68-8).

“Albicanol” for the purpose of this application relates to (+)-albicanol (CAS: 54632-04-1).

The term “organism” refers to any non-human multicellular or unicellular organisms such as a plant, or a microorganism. Particularly, a micro-organism is a bacterium, a yeast, an algae or a fungus.

The term “plant” is used interchangeably to include plant cells including plant protoplasts, plant tissues, plant cell tissue cultures giving rise to regenerated plants, or parts of plants, or plant organs such as roots, stems, leaves, flowers, pollen, ovules, embryos, fruits and the like. Any plant can be used to carry out the methods of an embodiment herein.

A particular organism or cell is meant to be “capable of producing FPP” when it produces FPP naturally or when it does not produce FPP naturally but is transformed to produce FPP, either prior to the transformation with a nucleic acid as described herein or together with said nucleic acid. Organisms or cells transformed to produce a higher amount of FPP than the naturally occurring organism or cell are also encompassed by the “organisms or cells capable of producing FPP”.

For the descriptions herein and the appended claims, the use of “or” means “and/or” unless stated otherwise. Similarly, “comprise,” “comprises,” “comprising”, “include,” “includes,” and “including” are interchangeable and not intended to be limiting.

It is to be further understood that where descriptions of various embodiments use the term “comprising,” those skilled in the art would understand that in some specific instances, an embodiment can be alternatively described using language “consisting essentially of” or “consisting of.”

According to one embodiment, the nucleic acid molecule consists of the nucleotide sequence SEQ ID NO: 3, SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 7, SEQ ID NO: 8, SEQ ID NO: 10, SEQ ID NO: 11, SEQ ID NO: 13, SEQ ID NO: 14, SEQ ID NO: 16, SEQ ID NO: 18, SEQ ID NO: 19, SEQ ID NO: 21, SEQ ID NO: 22, SEQ ID NO: 24, SEQ ID NO: 25, SEQ ID NO: 27, SEQ ID NO: 28, SEQ ID NO: 30, SEQ ID NO: 31, SEQ ID NO: 33, SEQ ID NO: 34, SEQ ID NO: 36, SEQ ID NO: 37, SEQ ID NO: 39, SEQ ID NO: 40, SEQ ID NO: 42, SEQ ID NO: 43, SEQ ID NO: 45, SEQ ID NO: 46, SEQ ID NO: 48, SEQ ID NO: 49, SEQ ID NO: 51, SEQ ID NO: 52, SEQ ID NO: 64, SEQ ID NO: 65, SEQ ID NO: 66, SEQ ID NO: 67, SEQ ID NO: 68, SEQ ID NO: 69, or SEQ ID NO: 70, or the reverse complement thereof.

In one embodiment, the nucleic acid of an embodiment herein can be either present naturally in Cryptoporus or Laricifomes or in other fungal species, or be obtained by modifying SEQ ID NO: 3 or SEQ ID NO: 7 or the reverse complement thereof.

In another embodiment, the nucleic acid is isolated or is derived from fungi of the genus Cryptoporus or Laricifomes. In a further embodiment the nucleic acid is isolated or derived from Cryptoporus volvatus or Laricifomes officinalis.

Further provided is a nucleotide sequence obtained by modifying SEQ ID NO: 3 or SEQ ID NO: 7 or the reverse complement thereof which encompasses any sequence that has been obtained by modifying the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3 or SEQ ID NO: 7, or of the reverse complement thereof using any method known in the art, for example, by introducing any type of mutations such as deletion, insertion and/or substitution mutations. The nucleic acids comprising a sequence obtained by mutation of SEQ ID NO: 3 or SEQ ID NO: 7 or the reverse complement thereof are encompassed by an embodiment herein, provided that the sequences they comprise share at least the defined sequence identity of SEQ ID NO: 3 or SEQ ID NO: 7 as defined in any of the above embodiments or the reverse complement thereof and provided that they encode a polypeptide comprising a HAD-like hydrolase domain and having a bifunctional terpene synthase activity to produce a drimane sesquiterpene, wherein the polypeptide comprises (1) a class I terpene synthase-like motif as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 53 (DDxx(D/E)) and (2) a class II terpene synthase-like motif as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 56 (DxD(T/S)T). The polypeptide having bifunctional terpene synthase activity may further comprise one or more conserved motif as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 59, SEQ ID NO: 60, SEQ ID NO: 61, and/or SEQ ID NO: 62. Mutations may be any kind of mutations of these nucleic acids, for example, point mutations, deletion mutations, insertion mutations and/or frame shift mutations of one or more nucleotides of the DNA sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3 or SEQ ID NO: 7. In one embodiment, the nucleic acid of an embodiment herein may be truncated provided that it encodes a polypeptide as described herein.

A variant nucleic acid may be prepared in order to adapt its nucleotide sequence to a specific expression system. For example, bacterial expression systems are known to more efficiently express polypeptides if amino acids are encoded by particular codons.

Due to the degeneracy of the genetic code, more than one codon may encode the same amino acid sequence, multiple nucleic acid sequences can code for the same protein or polypeptide, all these DNA sequences being encompassed by an embodiment herein. Where appropriate, the nucleic acid sequences encoding the bifunctional terpene synthase may be optimized for increased expression in the host cell. For example, nucleotides of an embodiment herein may be synthesized using codons particular to a host for improved expression. In one embodiment, the nucleic acid molecule comprises the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 8, SEQ ID NO: 11, SEQ ID NO: 14, SEQ ID NO: 16, SEQ ID NO: 19, SEQ ID NO: 22, SEQ ID NO: 25, SEQ ID NO: 28, SEQ ID NO: 31, SEQ ID NO: 34, SEQ ID NO: 37, SEQ ID NO: 40, SEQ ID NO: 43, SEQ ID NO: 46, SEQ ID NO: 49, SEQ ID NO: 52, SEQ ID NO: 64, SEQ ID NO: 65, SEQ ID NO: 66, SEQ ID NO: 67, SEQ ID NO: 68, SEQ ID NO: 69, or SEQ ID NO: 70, or the reverse complement thereof.

In one embodiment provided herein is an isolated, recombinant or synthetic nucleic acid sequence comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3, SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 7, SEQ ID NO: 8, SEQ ID NO: 10, SEQ ID NO: 11, SEQ ID NO: 13, SEQ ID NO: 14, SEQ ID NO: 16, SEQ ID NO: 18, SEQ ID NO: 19, SEQ ID NO: 21, SEQ ID NO: 22, SEQ ID NO: 24, SEQ ID NO: 25, SEQ ID NO: 27, SEQ ID NO: 28, SEQ ID NO: 30, SEQ ID NO: 31, SEQ ID NO: 33, SEQ ID NO: 34, SEQ ID NO: 36, SEQ ID NO: 37, SEQ ID NO: 39, SEQ ID NO: 40, SEQ ID NO: 42, SEQ ID NO: 43, SEQ ID NO: 45, SEQ ID NO: 46, SEQ ID NO: 48, SEQ ID NO: 49, SEQ ID NO: 51, SEQ ID NO: 52, SEQ ID NO: 64, SEQ ID NO: 65, SEQ ID NO: 66, SEQ ID NO: 67, SEQ ID NO: 68, SEQ ID NO: 69, or SEQ ID NO: 70, encoding for a bifunctional terpene synthase comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 5, SEQ ID NO: 9, SEQ ID NO: 12, SEQ ID NO: 15, SEQ ID NO: 17, SEQ ID NO: 20, SEQ ID NO: 23, SEQ ID NO: 26, SEQ ID NO: 29, SEQ ID NO: 32, SEQ ID NO: 35, SEQ ID NO: 38, SEQ ID NO: 41, SEQ ID NO: 44, SEQ ID NO: 47, SEQ ID NO: 50, or SEQ ID NO: 63 or functional fragments thereof that catalyze production of a drimane sesquiterpene in a cell from a FPP precursor. In a further embodiment, the drimane sesquiterpene comprises albicanol and/or drimenol.

Provided herein are also cDNA, genomic DNA and RNA sequences. Any nucleic acid sequence encoding the bifunctional terpene synthase or variants thereof is referred herein as a bifunctional terpene synthase encoding sequence.

According to one embodiment, the nucleic acid of SEQ ID NO: 3, SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 7, SEQ ID NO: 8, or SEQ ID NO: 68 is the coding sequence of a bifunctional terpene synthase gene encoding a bifunctional terpene synthase obtained as described in the Examples.

A fragment of a polynucleotide of SEQ ID NO: 3, SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 7, SEQ ID NO: 8, or SEQ ID NO: 68 refers to contiguous nucleotides that is particularly at least 15 bp, at least 30 bp, at least 40 bp, at least 50 bp and/or at least 60 bp in length of the polynucleotide of an embodiment herein. Particularly the fragment of a polynucleotide comprises at least 25, more particularly at least 50, more particularly at least 75, more particularly at least 100, more particularly at least 150, more particularly at least 200, more particularly at least 300, more particularly at least 400, more particularly at least 500, more particularly at least 600, more particularly at least 700, more particularly at least 800, more particularly at least 900, more particularly at least 1000 contiguous nucleotides of the polynucleotide of an embodiment herein.

Without being limited, the fragment of the polynucleotides herein may be used as a PCR primer, and/or as a probe, or for anti-sense gene silencing or RNAi.

It is clear to the person skilled in the art that genes, including the polynucleotides of an embodiment herein, can be cloned on basis of the available nucleotide sequence information, such as found in the attached sequence listing, by methods known in the art. These include e.g. the design of DNA primers representing the flanking sequences of such gene of which one is generated in sense orientations and which initiates synthesis of the sense strand and the other is created in reverse complementary fashion and generates the antisense strand. Thermo stable DNA polymerases such as those used in polymerase chain reaction are commonly used to carry out such experiments. Alternatively, DNA sequences representing genes can be chemically synthesized and subsequently introduced in DNA vector molecules that can be multiplied by e.g. compatible bacteria such as e.g. E. coli.

In a related embodiment provided herein, PCR primers and/or probes for detecting nucleic acid sequences encoding a polypeptide having bifunctional terpene synthase activity are provided.

The skilled artisan will be aware of methods to synthesize degenerate or specific PCR primer pairs to amplify a nucleic acid sequence encoding the bifunctional terpene synthase or functional fragments thereof, based on SEQ ID NO: 3, SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 7, SEQ ID NO: 8, or SEQ ID NO: 68. A detection kit for nucleic acid sequences encoding the bifunctional terpene synthase may include primers and/or probes specific for nucleic acid sequences encoding the bifunctional terpene synthase, and an associated protocol to use the primers and/or probes to detect nucleic acid sequences encoding the bifunctional terpene synthase in a sample. Such detection kits may be used to determine whether a plant, organism, microorganism or cell has been modified, i.e., transformed with a sequence encoding the bifunctional terpene synthase.

To test a function of variant DNA sequences according to an embodiment herein, the sequence of interest is operably linked to a selectable or screenable marker gene and expression of the reporter gene is tested in transient expression assays, for example, with microorganisms or with protoplasts or in stably transformed plants. The skilled artisan will recognize that DNA sequences capable of driving expression are built as modules. Accordingly, expression levels from shorter DNA fragments may be different than the one from the longest fragment and may be different from each other. Provided herein are also functional equivalents of the nucleic acid sequence coding the bifunctional terpene synthase proteins provided herein, i.e., nucleotide sequences that hybridize under stringent conditions to the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3, SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 7, SEQ ID NO: 8, or SEQ ID NO: 68.

As used herein, the term hybridization or hybridizes under certain conditions is intended to describe conditions for hybridization and washes under which nucleotide sequences that are significantly identical or homologous to each other remain bound to each other. The conditions may be such that sequences, which are at least about 70%, such as at least about 80%, and such as at least about 85%, 90%, or 95% identical, remain bound to each other. Definitions of low stringency, moderate, and high stringency hybridization conditions are provided herein.

Appropriate hybridization conditions can be selected by those skilled in the art with minimal experimentation as exemplified in Ausubel et al. (1995, Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley & Sons, sections 2, 4, and 6). Additionally, stringency conditions are described in Sambrook et al. (1989, Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 2nd ed., Cold Spring Harbor

Press, chapters 7, 9, and 11). As used herein, defined conditions of low stringency are as follows. Filters containing DNA are pretreated for 6 h at 40° C. in a solution containing 35% formamide, 5× SSC, 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 5 mM EDTA, 0.1% PVP, 0.1% Ficoll, 1% BSA, and 500 μg/ml denatured salmon sperm DNA. Hybridizations are carried out in the same solution with the following modifications: 0.02% PVP, 0.02% Ficoll, 0.2% BSA, 100 μg/ml salmon sperm DNA, 10% (wt/vol) dextran sulfate, and 5-20×106 32P-labeled probe is used. Filters are incubated in hybridization mixture for 18-20 h at 40° C., and then washed for 1.5 h at 55° C. In a solution containing 2× SSC, 25 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), 5 mM EDTA, and 0.1% SDS. The wash solution is replaced with fresh solution and incubated an additional 1.5 h at 60° C. Filters are blotted dry and exposed for autoradiography.

As used herein, defined conditions of moderate stringency are as follows. Filters containing DNA are pretreated for 7 h at 50° C. in a solution containing 35% formamide, 5× SSC, 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 5 mM EDTA, 0.1% PVP, 0.1% Ficoll, 1% BSA, and 500 μg/ml denatured salmon sperm DNA. Hybridizations are carried out in the same solution with the following modifications: 0.02% PVP, 0.02% Ficoll, 0.2% BSA, 100 μg/ml salmon sperm DNA, 10% (wt/vol) dextran sulfate, and 5-20×106 32P-labeled probe is used. Filters are incubated in hybridization mixture for 30 h at 50° C., and then washed for 1.5 h at 55° C. In a solution containing 2× SSC, 25 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), 5 mM EDTA, and 0.1% SDS. The wash solution is replaced with fresh solution and incubated an additional 1.5 h at 60° C. Filters are blotted dry and exposed for autoradiography.

As used herein, defined conditions of high stringency are as follows. Prehybridization of filters containing DNA is carried out for 8 h to overnight at 65° C. in buffer composed of 6× SSC, 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 1 mM EDTA, 0.02% PVP, 0.02% Ficoll, 0.02% BSA, and 500 μg/ml denatured salmon sperm DNA. Filters are hybridized for 48 h at 65° C. in the prehybridization mixture containing 100 μg/ml denatured salmon sperm DNA and 5-20×106 cpm of 32P-labeled probe. Washing of filters is done at 37° C. for 1 h in a solution containing 2× SSC, 0.01% PVP, 0.01% Ficoll, and 0.01% BSA. This is followed by a wash in 0.1× SSC at 50° C. for 45 minutes. Other conditions of low, moderate, and high stringency well known in the art (e.g., as employed for cross-species hybridizations) may be used if the above conditions are inappropriate (e.g., as employed for cross-species hybridizations).

The skilled artisan will be aware of methods to identify homologous sequences in other organisms and methods to determine the percentage of sequence identity between homologous sequences. Such newly identified DNA molecules then can be sequenced and the sequence can be compared with the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3 or SEQ ID NO: 7.

The percentage of identity between two peptide or nucleotide sequences is a function of the number of amino acids or nucleotide residues that are identical in the two sequences when an alignment of these two sequences has been generated. Identical residues are defined as residues that are the same in the two sequences in a given position of the alignment. The percentage of sequence identity, as used herein, is calculated from the optimal alignment by taking the number of residues identical between two sequences dividing it by the total number of residues in the shortest sequence and multiplying by 100. The optimal alignment is the alignment in which the percentage of identity is the highest possible. Gaps may be introduced into one or both sequences in one or more positions of the alignment to obtain the optimal alignment. These gaps are then taken into account as non-identical residues for the calculation of the percentage of sequence identity. Alignment for the purpose of determining the percentage of amino acid or nucleic acid sequence identity can be achieved in various ways using computer programs and for instance publicly available computer programs available on the world wide web. Preferably, the BLAST program (Tatiana et al, FEMS Microbiol Lett., 1999, 174:247-250, 1999) set to the default parameters, available from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) website at ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/BLAST/b12seq/wblast2.cgi, can be used to obtain an optimal alignment of protein or nucleic acid sequences and to calculate the percentage of sequence identity.

A related embodiment provided herein provides a nucleic acid sequence which is complementary to the nucleic acid sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 3, SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 7, SEQ ID NO: 8, or SEQ ID NO: 68 such as inhibitory RNAs, or nucleic acid sequence which hybridizes under stringent conditions to at least part of the nucleotide sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 3, SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 7, SEQ ID NO: 8, or SEQ ID NO: 68. An alternative embodiment of an embodiment herein provides a method to alter gene expression in a host cell. For instance, the polynucleotide of an embodiment herein may be enhanced or overexpressed or induced in certain contexts (e.g. upon exposure to certain temperatures or culture conditions) in a host cell or host organism.

Alteration of expression of a polynucleotide provided herein may also result in ectopic expression which is a different expression pattern in an altered and in a control or wild-type organism. Alteration of expression occurs from interactions of polypeptide of an embodiment herein with exogenous or endogenous modulators, or as a result of chemical modification of the polypeptide. The term also refers to an altered expression pattern of the polynucleotide of an embodiment herein which is altered below the detection level or completely suppressed activity.

In one embodiment, provided herein is also an isolated, recombinant or synthetic polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide or variant polypeptide provided herein.

In one embodiment is provided an isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding a polypeptide comprising a domain of the HAD-like hydrolase superfamily having bifunctional terpene synthase activity and comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 5, SEQ ID NO: 9, SEQ ID NO: 12, SEQ ID NO: 15, SEQ ID NO: 17, SEQ ID NO: 20, SEQ ID NO: 23, SEQ ID NO: 26, SEQ ID NO: 29, SEQ ID NO: 32, SEQ ID NO: 35, SEQ ID NO: 38, SEQ ID NO: 41, SEQ ID NO: 44, SEQ ID NO: 47, SEQ ID NO: 50, or SEQ ID NO: 63; and the sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 53, SEQ ID NO: 54, or SEQ ID NO: 55; and the sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 56, SEQ ID NO: 57, or SEQ ID NO: 58 or comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 5, SEQ ID NO: 9, SEQ ID NO: 12, SEQ ID NO: 15, SEQ ID NO: 17, SEQ ID NO: 20, SEQ ID NO: 23, SEQ ID NO: 26, SEQ ID NO: 29, SEQ ID NO: 32, SEQ ID NO: 35, or SEQ ID NO: 38, SEQ ID NO: 41, SEQ ID NO: 44, SEQ ID NO: 47, SEQ ID NO: 50, or SEQ ID NO: 63.

In one embodiment provided herein is an isolated polypeptide comprising a HAD-like hydrolase domain having bifunctional terpene synthase activity and comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 1 or SEQ ID NO: 5 or comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 or SEQ ID NO: 5.

According to one embodiment, the polypeptide consists of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 5.

In one embodiment, the polypeptide of an embodiment herein can be present naturally in Cryptoporus or Laricifomes fungi or in other fungi species, or comprises an amino acid sequence that is a variant of SEQ ID NO: 1 or SEQ ID NO: 5, either obtained by genetic engineering or found naturally in Cryptoporus or Laricifomes fungi or in other fungi species.

According to another embodiment, the polypeptide is isolated or derived from fungi of the genus Cryptoporus or Laricifomes. In a further embodiment, the polypeptide is isolated or derived from Cryptoporus volvatus or Laricifomes officinalis.

In one embodiment, the at least one polypeptide having a bifunctional terpene synthase activity used in any of the herein-described embodiments or encoded by the nucleic acid used in any of the herein-described embodiments comprises an amino acid sequence that is a variant of SEQ ID NO: 1 or SEQ ID NO: 5, obtained by genetic engineering. In one embodiment the polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence encoded by a nucleotide sequence that has been obtained by modifying SEQ ID NO: 3 or SEQ ID NO: 7 or the reverse complement thereof.

Polypeptides are also meant to include variants and truncated polypeptides provided that they have bifunctional terpene synthase activity.

According to another embodiment, the at least one polypeptide having a bifunctional terpene synthase activity used in any of the herein-described embodiments or encoded by the nucleic acid used in any of the herein-described embodiments comprises an amino acid sequence that is a variant of SEQ ID NO: 1 or SEQ ID NO: 5, obtained by genetic engineering, provided that said variant has bifunctional terpene synthase activity to produce a drimane sesquiterpene and has the required percentage of identity to SEQ ID NO: 1 or SEQ ID NO: 5 as described in any of the above embodiments and comprises (1) a class I terpene synthase-like motif as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 53 (DDxx(D/E)) and (2) a class II terpene synthase-like motif as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 56 (DxD(T/S)T) and comprises domains corresponding to Pfam domains PF13419.5 and PF13242.5. The polypeptide having bifunctional terpene synthase activity may further comprise one or more conserved motifs as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 59, SEQ ID NO: 60, SEQ ID NO: 61, and/or SEQ ID NO: 62.

According to another embodiment, the at least one polypeptide having a bifunctional terpene synthase activity used in any of the herein-described embodiments or encoded by the nucleic acid used in any of the herein-described embodiments is a variant of SEQ ID NO: 1 or SEQ ID NO: 5 that can be found naturally in other organisms, such as other fungal species, provided that it has bifunctional terpene synthase activity and comprises domains corresponding to Pfam domains PF13419.5 and PF13242.5. As used herein, the polypeptide includes a polypeptide or peptide fragment that encompasses the amino acid sequences identified herein, as well as truncated or variant polypeptides provided that they have bifunctional terpene synthase activity and that they share at least the defined percentage of identity with the corresponding fragment of SEQ ID NO: 1 or SEQ ID NO: 5 and comprise (1) a class I terpene synthase-like motif as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 53 (DDxx(D/E)) and (2) a class II terpene synthase-like motif as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 56 (DxD(T/S)T) and comprises domains corresponding to Pfam domains PF13419.5 and PF13242.5.

Examples of variant polypeptides are naturally occurring proteins that result from alternate mRNA splicing events or from proteolytic cleavage of the polypeptides described herein. Variations attributable to proteolysis include, for example, differences in the N- or C-termini upon expression in different types of host cells, due to proteolytic removal of one or more terminal amino acids from the polypeptides of an embodiment herein. Polypeptides encoded by a nucleic acid obtained by natural or artificial mutation of a nucleic acid of an embodiment herein, as described thereafter, are also encompassed by an embodiment herein.

Polypeptide variants resulting from a fusion of additional peptide sequences at the amino and carboxyl terminal ends can also be used in the methods of an embodiment herein. In particular such a fusion can enhance expression of the polypeptides, be useful in the purification of the protein or improve the enzymatic activity of the polypeptide in a desired environment or expression system. Such additional peptide sequences may be signal peptides, for example. Another aspect encompasses methods using variant polypeptides, such as those obtained by fusion with other oligo- or polypeptides and/or those which are linked to signal peptides. Polypeptides resulting from a fusion with another functional protein, such as another protein from the terpene biosynthesis pathway, can also be advantageously used in the methods of an embodiment herein.

A variant may also differ from the polypeptide of an embodiment herein by attachment of modifying groups which are covalently or non-covalently linked to the polypeptide backbone. The variant also includes a polypeptide which differs from the polypeptide provided herein by introduced N-linked or O-linked glycosylation sites, and/or an addition of cysteine residues. The skilled artisan will recognize how to modify an amino acid sequence and preserve biological activity.

In addition to the gene sequences shown in the sequences disclosed herein, it will be apparent for the person skilled in the art that DNA sequence polymorphisms may exist within a given population, which may lead to changes in the amino acid sequence of the polypeptides disclosed herein. Such genetic polymorphisms may exist in cells from different populations or within a population due to natural allelic variation. Allelic variants may also include functional equivalents.

Further embodiments also relate to the molecules derived by such sequence polymorphisms from the concretely disclosed nucleic acids. These natural variations usually bring about a variance of about 1 to 5% in the nucleotide sequence of a gene or in the amino acid sequence of the polypeptides disclosed herein. As mentioned above, the nucleic acid encoding the polypeptide or variants thereof of an embodiment herein is a useful tool to modify non-human host organisms, microorganisms or cells and to modify non-human host organisms, microorganisms or cells intended to be used in the methods described herein.

An embodiment provided herein provides amino acid sequences of bifunctional terpene synthase proteins including orthologs and paralogs as well as methods for identifying and isolating orthologs and paralogs of the bifunctional terpene synthases in other organisms. Particularly, so identified orthologs and paralogs of the bifunctional terpene synthase retain bifunctional terpene synthase activity, may be considered a polypeptide of the HAD-like hydrolase superfamily (Interpro protein superfamily IPRO23214 or Pfam protein superfamily PF13419) and which comprises a HAD-like hydrolase domain and are capable of producing a drimane sesquiterpene, such as albicanol and/or drimenol, starting from an acyclic terpene pyrophosphate precursor, e.g. FPP.

The polypeptide to be contacted with an acyclic terpene pyrophosphate, e.g. FPP, in vitro can be obtained by extraction from any organism expressing it, using standard protein or enzyme extraction technologies. If the host organism is an unicellular organism or cell releasing the polypeptide of an embodiment herein into the culture medium, the polypeptide may simply be collected from the culture medium, for example by centrifugation, optionally followed by washing steps and re-suspension in suitable buffer solutions. If the organism or cell accumulates the polypeptide within its cells, the polypeptide may be obtained by disruption or lysis of the cells and optionally further extraction of the polypeptide from the cell lysate. The cell lysate or the extracted polypeptide can be used to contact the acyclic terpene pyrophosphate for production of a terpene or a mixture of terpenes.

The polypeptide having a bifunctional terpene synthase activity, either in an isolated form or together with other proteins, for example in a crude protein extract obtained from cultured cells or microorganisms, may then be suspended in a buffer solution at optimal pH. If adequate, salts, DTT, inorganic cations and other kinds of enzymatic co-factors, may be added in order to optimize enzyme activity. The precursor FPP is added to the polypeptide suspension, which is then incubated at optimal temperature, for example between 15 and 40° C., particularly between 25 and 35° C., more particularly at 30° C. After incubation, the drimane sesquiterpene, such as albicanol and/or drimenol, produced may be isolated from the incubated solution by standard isolation procedures, such as solvent extraction and distillation, optionally after removal of polypeptides from the solution.

According to another embodiment, the at least one polypeptide having a bifunctional terpene synthase activity can be used for production of a drimane sesquiterpene comprising albicanol and/or drimenol or mixtures of terpenes comprising albicanol and/or drimenol.

One particular tool to carry out the method of an embodiment herein is the polypeptide itself as described herein.

According to a particular embodiment, the polypeptide is capable of producing a mixture of sesquiterpenes wherein albicanol and/or drimenol represents at least 20%, particularly at least 30%, particularly at least 35%, particularly at least 90%, particularly at least 95%, more particularly at least 98% of the sesquiterpenes produced. In another aspect provided here, the albicanol and/or drimenol is produced with greater than or equal to 95%, more particularly 98% selectivity.

The functionality or activity of any bifunctional terpene synthase protein, variant or fragment, may be determined using various methods. For example, transient or stable overexpression in plant, bacterial or yeast cells can be used to test whether the protein has activity, i.e., produces albicanol and/or drimenol from FPP precursors. Bifunctional terpene synthase activity may be assessed in a microbial expression system, such as the assay described in Example 3 herein on the production of albicanol and/or drimenol, indicating functionality. A variant or derivative of a bifunctional terpene synthase polypeptide of an embodiment herein retains an ability to produce a drimane sesquiterpene such as albicanol and/or drimenol from FPP precursors. Amino acid sequence variants of the bifunctional terpene synthases provided herein may have additional desirable biological functions including, e.g., altered substrate utilization, reaction kinetics, product distribution or other alterations.

The ability of a polypeptide to catalyze the synthesis of a particular sesquiterpene (for example albicanol and/or drimenol) can be simply confirmed, for example, by performing the enzyme assay as detailed in Examples 3, 4 and 6.

In another embodiment, several bifunctional terpene synthase proteins encoding nucleic acid sequences can be present on a single transformation vector or be co-transformed at the same time using separate vectors and selecting transformants comprising both chimeric genes. Similarly, one or more bifunctional terpene synthase encoding genes may be expressed in a single plant, cell, microorganism or organism together with other chimeric genes.

The nucleic acid sequences of an embodiment herein encoding bifunctional terpene synthase proteins can be inserted in expression vectors and/or be contained in chimeric genes inserted in expression vectors, to produce bifunctional terpene synthase proteins in a host cell or non-human host organism.

Alternatively, the promoter sequence may already be present in a vector so that the nucleic acid sequence which is to be transcribed is inserted into the vector downstream of the promoter sequence. Vectors can be engineered to have an origin of replication, a multiple cloning site, and a selectable marker.

The following examples are illustrative only and are not intended to limit the scope of the claims an embodiments described herein.

EXAMPLES Example 1 Microorganism Cultivation and DNA and RNA Extraction.

Drimane sesquiterpenoids are widespread in nature (Jansen and Groot, 2004, Nat. Prod. Rep., 21, 449-477). The compounds in the drimane sesquiterpeneoid family contain the sesquiterpene structure with the drimane carbon skeleton depicted in FIG. 1. For example, commonly found drimane sesquiterpene are drimenol and albicanol (FIG. 1) and compounds derived from drimenol and albicanol by enzymatic reactions such as oxidations, reduction, acylation, alkylation or rearrangement. The drimane sesquiterpenoid family contains also compounds were the drimane sesquiterpene is bound to a molecule derived from another biosynthetic pathway (Jansen and Groot, 2004, Nat. Prod. Rep., 21, 449-477).

Cryptoporic acids A-H are drimane sequiterpenoid ethers of isocitric acid found in the fungus Cryptoporus volvatus (Hashimoto et al, 1987, Tetrahedron Let. 28, 6303-6304; Asakawa et al, 1992, Phytochemistry 31(2), 579-592; Hirotani et al, 1991, Phytochemistry 30(5), 1555-1559). In crypotoporic acids, the sesquiterpene moiety has the structure of albicanol and thus these compounds are putatively derived biosynthetically from albicanol. Laricinolic acid is a drimane type sesquiterpene which can be isolated from the wood-rotting fungus Laricifomes officinahs (Erb et al, 2000, J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans. 1, 2307-2309). Laricinolic acid is most likely derived from albicanol following several oxidative enzymatic steps.

We undertook to characterize albicanol synthases and to identify nucleotide sequences encoding for albicanol synthases from Cryptoporus volvatus and Laricifomes officinalis. Strains of Laricifomes officinalis (ATCC® 64430™) and Cryptoporus volvatus (ATCC® 12212™) are conserved at the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) under the collection numbers ATCC-64430 and ATCC-12212, respectively. The Laricifomes officinalis (ATCC® 64430™) and Cryptoporus volvatus (ATCC® 12212™) strains were purchased from LGC Standards GmbH (46485 Wesel, Germany). The cells were grown in Yeast Mold (YM) medium (Wickerham, 1939, J. Tropical Med. Hyg. 42, 176).

For each of the two strains, genomic DNA and total RNA were extracted in order to sequence the full genome and a transcriptome. Cells propagated on YM-agar plates were used to inoculate 100 ml liquid YM medium in glass tubes. The cultures were incubated for 6 days with at 25° C. and 180 rpm agitation. For RNA extraction 0.5 ml of culture was taken, the cells (Approximately 100 mg) were recovered by centrifugation frozen in liquid nitrogen and grinded using a mortar and pestle. The total RNA pool was extracted using the ZR Fungal/Bacterial RNA MiniPrep™ from Zymo Research Corp (Irvine, Calif. 92614, U.S.A). From 100 mg of cells 18 and 23 micrograms of total RNA were obtained for ATCC-12212 and ATCC-64430, respectively. Genomic DNA was extracted using the NucleoSpin® Soil Kit from Machery-Nagel (Duren, Germany). Cells were recovered from the culture by centrifugation and the genomic DNA was extracted following the manufacturer protocol. From 500 mg of cells 1.05 and 0.93 micrograms of genomic DNA was extracted from ATCC-12212 and ATCC-64430, respectively.

Example 2 Genome and Transcriptome Sequencing.

The genomic DNA was sequenced using a paired read protocol (Illumina). The libraries were prepared to select insert sizes between 250 and 350 bp. The sequencing was performed on a HiSeq 2500 Illumina sequencer. The length of the reads was 125 bases. A total of 21.3 and 30.4 millions of paired-reads (clusters) were sequenced for ATCC-12212 and ATCC-64430, respectively.

For the transcriptomes the library was prepared from the total RNA using the TruSeq Stranded mRNA Library Preparation Kit (Illumina). An additional insert size selection step (160-240 bp) was performed. The libraries were sequenced in 2×125 bases paired-ends on a HiSeq 2500 Illumina sequencer. For ATCC-12212 and ATCC-64430, 19.9 million and 126 millions of reads were sequences, respectively.

For assembly of the C. volvatus transcriptome, the reads were first joined on their overlapping ends. The joined paired reads were then assembled using the Velvet V1.2.10 assembler (Zerbino D. R. and Birney E. 2008, Genome Res. 18(5), 821-829; www.ebi.ac.uk/˜zerbino/velvet/) and the Oases software (Schulz M. H et al., 2012, Bioinformatics 28(8), 1086-1092; www.ebi.ac.uk/˜zerbino/oases/). A total of 25′866 contigs with an average length of 1,792 bases was obtained for the C. volvatus transcriptome.

The C. volvatus genome was assembled using the Velvet V1.2.10 assembler (Zerbino D. R. and Birney E., 2008, Genome Res. 18(5), 821-829; www.ebi.ac.uk/˜zerbino/velvet/). The genome could be assembled in 1′266 contigs with an average size 20,000 bases and a total size of 25′320′421 bases. An ab-initio gene prediction in the C. volvatus genomic contigs was performed by Progenus S A (Gembloux, Belgium) using the Augustus software (Stanke et al., Nucleic Acids Res. (2004) 32, W309-W312). A total of 7738 genes were predicted. Functional annotation was performed combining a Pfam domain search (Finn, R. D. et al., 2016, Nucleic Acids Research Database Issue 44:D279-D285) and a Blast search (Altschul et al., 1990, J. Mol. Biol. 215, 403-410).

The genome and transcriptome of L. officinalis were assembled using the CLC Genomic Workbench (Qiagen). The genome was assembled in 16′831 contigs for a total genome size of 90′591′190 bases. The transcriptome assembly provided 28′633 contigs with an average length of 1′962 bases.

Example 3 Identification of Drimane Sesquiterpene Synthases.

Using a tBlastn search (Altschul et al., 1990, J. Mol. Biol. 215, 403-410) with the amino acid sequences of known sesquiterpene synthases as query sequences, 6 and 10 putative sesquiterpene synthases sequences were identified in the C. volvatus genome and L. officinalis genome, respectively. The sequences were manually corrected, in particular for the intro-exon junction localizations, using a mapping of the RNA sequencing reads on the genomic contigs. The corresponding cDNAs were then codon-optimized for optimal E. coli expression, synthesized and cloned in an expression plasmid (pJ401, ATUM, Newark, Calif.). Functional expression E coli cells and enzyme characterization assay showed sesquiterpene synthase activities but did not reveal any formation of albicanol from FPP.

Drimane sesquiterpene are presumably produced from farnesyl-diphosphate (FPP) by an enzymatic mechanism involving a protonation-initiated cyclization followed by an ionization-initiated reaction (Henquet et al., 2017, Plant J. Mar 4. doi: 10.1111/tpj.13527; Kwon, M.et al., 2014, FEBS Letters 588, 4597-4603) (FIG. 2). This implies that the drimane synthases are composed of two catalytic domains, a protonation-initiated cyclization catalytic domain and an ionization-initiated cyclization catalytic domain.

Terpene synthases catalyzing protonation-initiated cyclization reaction are called class II (or type II) terpene synthases and are typically involved in the biosynthesis of triterpenes and labdane diterpenes. In class II terpene synthases the protonation-initiated reaction involves acidic amino acids donating a proton to the terminal double-bond. These residues, usually aspartic acids, are part of a conserved DxDD motif located in the active site of the enzyme.

Terpene synthases catalyzing ionization-initiated reactions are called class I (or type I) terpene synthases, generally monoterpene and sesquiterpene synthases, and the catalytic center contains a conserved DDxxD (part of SEQ ID NO: 53) motif. The aspartic acid residues of this class I motif bind a divalent metal ion (most often Mg²⁺) involved in the binding of the diphosphate group and catalyze the ionization and cleavage of the allylic diphosphate bond of the substrate.

The putative cyclization mechanism of a farnesyl-diphosphate to a drimane sesquiterpene (such as albicanol or drimenol) starts with the protonation of the 10,11-double bond followed by the sequential rearrangements and carbon-bond formations. The carbocation intermediate of this first (class II) reaction can then undergo deprotonation at C15 or C4 (or eventually at C2) leading to an albicanyl-diphosphate or drimenyl-diphosphate intermediate. Finally the class I catalytic domain catalyzes the ionization of the allylic diphosphate bond and quenching of the carbocation intermediated by a water molecule leading to a drimane sesquiterpene containing a primary hydroxyl group (FIG. 2). If necessary, any traces of residual phosphorylated intermediates of the albicanol or drimenol synthesis, like any albicanyl—or drimenyl-monophosphate and/or—diphosphate, may be chemically converted to the respective final product albicanol or drimenol. Certain corresponding methods are known and may comprise, for example, the hydrolytic cleavage of the phosphoric acid ester bond. Additionally, certain intermediates can also be converted enzymatically as shown in Examples 7 and 8.

Based on the above considerations, we searched the C. volvatus and L. officinalis genome and transcriptome data for sequences encoding for polypeptides containing together a class I and a class II terpene synthase motif. Recently, a drimanyl-diphosphate synthase (AstC) was identified in the fungus Aspergillus oryzea (Shinohara Y. et al., 2016, Sci Rep. 6, 32865). The enzyme contains a class II terpene synthase domain and catalyzes the protonation-initiation cyclization of farnesyl-diphosphate to drimanyl-diphosphate. However, this enzyme does not have a class I terpene synthase activity and thus does not catalyze the ionization and cleavage of the allylic diphosphate group. Using the sequence of AstC, we first search the amino acid sequences deduced from the genes predicted in the C. volvatus genome. Using a Blastp search against the amino acid sequences deduced from the predicted genes, 5 sequences were retrieved with an E value between 0.77 and 3e-089 (Altschul et al., 1990, J. Mol. Biol. 215, 403-410).

Amongst these 5 sequences, CvTps1 was selected as the most relevant for a putative albicanol synthases. The amino acid sequence encoded by the CvTps1 gene shared 38% identity with the AstC amino acid sequence. Analysis of this sequence revealed the presence of a class II terpene synthase-like motif, DVDT, at position 275-279. This is a variant of the typical class II terpene synthase motif mentioned above, where the last Asp is replaced by a Thr. This DxDT class II motif is found in some class II diterpene synthases (Xu M. et al., 2014, J. Nat. Prod. 77, 2144-2147; Morrone D. et al., 2009, J. FEBS Lett., 583, 475-480) and in AstC. Another interesting feature of the CvTps1 sequence is the presence of a typical class I motif in the N-terminal region (DDKLD at position 168-172). The presence of this class I motif, not present in AstC, suggests that CvTps1 can catalyze an ionization-initiated reaction in addition to the class II reaction. Another difference with AstC is the presence of a C-terminal extension, the CvTps1 peptide contains 46 additional amino acids at the C-terminal end. Thus CvTps1 was selected as putative candidate for a bi-functional albicanol synthase.

Protein family databases such as Pfam and Interpro (European Bioinformatic Institute (EMBL-EBI) are databases of protein families including functional annotation, protein domains and protein domain signatures. The amino acid sequence of CvTps1 was searched for the occurrence of motifs characteristic of protein domains using the HMMER algorithm available on the HMMER website (Finn R. D., 2015, Nucleic Acids Research Web Server Issue 43:W30-W38; www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/hmmer/). No domain associated with classical terpene synthases was found in the CvTps1 amino acid sequence. The query identified a domain characteristic of the Haloacid dehalogenase (HAD)-like hydrolase protein superfamily (PF13419.5) in the region between residues 115 and 187. A similar search using the Interpro protein family database (see the ebi.ac.uk/interpro/web site) and the Conserved Domain Database (NCBI web site at ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Structure/cdd/wrpsb.cgi) provided the same results: only the prediction of a domain of the HAD-like hydrolase superfamily in the N-terminal region (IPR 023214 and CL21460, respectively). The HAD-like hydrolase superfamily contains a large number of proteins with various functions including enzymes with phosphatase activity (Koonin and Tatusov, 1994, J. Mol. Biol 244, 125-132; Kuznetsova et al, 2015, J Biol Chem. 290(30), 18678-18698). The class I terpene synthase-like motif identified above in the CvTps1 polypeptide contains one of the HAD-like hydrolase motif signatures containing a conserved aspartic acid residues involved in the catalytic (phosphatase) activity. This analysis thus confirms that the N-terminal region of CvTps1 is involved in hydrolysis of the diphosphate group (class I terpene synthase activity).

No significant domain prediction was obtained in the C-terminal portion the polypeptide. Given the presence of a class II terpene synthase-like motif, the C-terminal part is likely involved in the protonation-initiated cyclization.

The CvTps1 amino acid sequence was used to search for homologous sequences in the L. officinalis genome and transcriptome. For this search the tBlastn algorithm was used (Altschul et al 1990, J. Mol. Biol. 215, 403-410). One transcript, LoTps1 showed sequence similarity with CvTps1: the length of the sequence (521 amino acid) was similar to the length of the CvTps1 amino acid sequence, the overall sequence identity between the two sequences was 71%, the N-terminal region contained a typical class I terpene synthase motif (DDKLD at position 162-166), a class II terpene synthase motif (DMDT) was found in position 267-270 and the N-terminal region contain a predicted HAD-like hydrolase domain.

Example 4 Heterologous Expression and Characterization of CvTps1 and LoTps1.

The CvTps1 and LoTps1 coding sequences were control and the intron-exon jonctions predictions were refined using mappings of the RNA sequencing reads against the genomic contigs. The coding sequences of the resulting cDNAs were codon optimized and cloned in the pJ401 E. coli expression plasmid (pJ401, ATUM, Newark, Calif.).

The enzymes were functionally characterized in E. coli cells engineered to overproduce farnesyl-diphosphate (FPP). Competent E. coli cells were transformed with the plasmid pACYC-29258-4506 (described in WO2013064411 or in Schalk et al., 2013, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 134, 18900-18903) and with the pJ401-CvTps1 or pJ401-LoTps1 expression plasmid. The pACYC-29258-4506 carries the cDNA encoding for a FPP synthase gene and the genes for a complete mevalonate pathway. The KRX E. coli cells (Promega) were used as a host. Transformed cells were selected on kanamycin (50 μg/ml) and chloramphenicol (34 μg/ml) LB-agarose plates. Single colonies were used to inoculate 5 mL liquid LB medium supplemented with the same antibiotics. The culture was incubated overnight at 37° C. The next day 2 mL of TB medium supplemented with the same antibiotics were inoculated with 0.2 mL of the overnight culture. After 6 hours incubation at 37° C., the culture was cooled down to 28° C. and 0.1 mM IPTG, 0.2% rhamnose and 10% in volume (0.2 ml) of dodecane were added to each tube. The cultures were incubated for 48 hours at 28° C. The cultures were then extracted twice with 2 volumes of tert-Butyl methyl ether (MTBE), the organic phase were concentrated to 500 μL and analyzed by GC-MS.

The GC-MS analysis were performed using an Agilent 6890 Series GC system connected to an Agilent 5975 mass detector. The GC was equipped with 0.25 mm inner diameter by 30 m DB-1MS capillary column (Agilent). The carrier gas was He at a constant flow of 1 mL/min. The inlet temperature was set at 250° C. The initial oven temperature was 80° C. followed by a gradient of 10° C./min to 220° C. and a second gradient of 30° C./min to 280° C. The identification of the products was based on the comparison of the mass spectra and retention indices with authentic standards and internal mass spectra databases.

In these conditions formation of a single product was observed with the recombinant CrVo07609 protein. The final concentration for this enzyme product was 200 mg/l of culture medium. The retention time in gas chromatography as well as the mass spectrum was in accordance with the GCMS data of an authentic (+)-albicanol standard. For structure confirmation, the recombinant cells were cultivated in a larger (500 ml) volume in the conditions described above. The MTBE was distilled form the extract and the resulting suspension in dodecane was subjected to flash chromatography. The product was eluted with a mixture 1:5 of MTBE and cyclohexane. The solvent was removed by distillation providing a product with 98% purity. The structure of albicanol was confirmed by 1H- and 13C-NMR analysis. The optical rotation was measured using a Bruker Avance 500 MHz spectrometer. The value of [α]^(D) ₂₀=+3.8° (0.26%, CHCl3) confirmed the formation of (+)-albicanol (with the structure shown in FIG. 1) by the recombinant CvTps1 protein.

The activity of LoTps1 was evaluated in the same conditions. The product profile was identical to the profile of CvTps1 with (+)-albicanol as the only detected product of the recombinant LoTps1 enzyme.

This experiments show that the CvTps1 and LoTps1 are enzyme with bifunctional class II cyclase activity and class I phosphatase activity.

Example 5 Search for Sequences Homologous to CvTps1 and LoTps1 in Other Organisms.

The amino acid sequences of CvTps1 and LoTps1 were used to search for homologous sequences from other organisms present in public databases. A blastp search approach (Altschul et al., 1990, J. Mol. Biol. 215, 403-410) was first used to search in the protein database of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) for sequences showing homology with CvTps1 and LoTps1. The retrieved amino acids were then analyzed for the presence of the CyTps1 and LoTps1 features described in Example 3. Fifteen sequences, all from fungi species, were selected for further analysis and enzymatic activity characterization: NCBI accession OCH93767.1 from Obba rivulosa, NCBI accession EMD37666.1 from Gelatoporia subvermispora, NCBI accession XP_001217376.1 from Aspergillus terreus, NCBI accession 01198394.1 from Aspergillus aculeatus, NCBI accession GA087501.1 from Aspergillus udagawae, NCBI accession XP_008034151.1 from Trametes versicolor, NCBI accession XP_007369631.1 from Dichomitus squalens, NCBI accession KIA75676.1 from Aspergillus ustus, NCBI accession XP_001820867.2 from Aspergillus oryzae, NCBI accession CEN60542.1 from Aspergillus calidoustus, NCBI accession XP_009547469.1 from Heterobasidion irregulare, NCBI accession KLO09124.1 from Schizopora paradoxa, NCBI accession 01195797.1 from Aspergillus versicolor.

The sequence of EMD3766.1 was corrected by deleting the amino acids 261 to 266 present in the published sequence and probably resulting from incorrect splicing prediction (sequence EMD37666-B in table 1). Another sequence, ACg006372 was selected from the published annotated sequence of Antrodia cinnamomea (Lu et al., 2014, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 111(44):E4743-52, (Dataset S1)).

The 15 putative terpene synthases amino acid sequences contain a class II terpene synthase-like motif with the consensus sequence D(V/M/L/F)D(T/S) as well as a class I terpene synthase-like motif with the consensus sequence DD(K/N/Q/R/S)xD (were x is a hydrophobic residue L, I, G, T or P). The class I and class II motifs are easily localized using an alignment of the amino acid sequences with the sequences of CvTps1 and LoTps1 (FIG. 6). Such alignment can be made using for example the program Clustal W (Thompson J. D. et al., 1994, Nucleic Acids Res. 22(22), 4673-80). In addition, the presence of a HAD-like hydrolase domain was identified in the N-terminal region of the 15 amino acid sequences (between positions 1 and 183 to 243 of the sequences) (Table 3).

The features of the above sequences thus suggest that the proteins contain a phosphatase or class I terpene synthase domain and a class II terpene synthase domain in the N-terminal and C-terminal region, respectively and thus have bifunctional protonation-initiated cyclization and ionization-initiated catalytic activities. Alignment of the sequences and pairwise comparisons (Table 2) of the above amino acid sequences showed a lowest sequence identity value of 37% and a highest value of 89% (without considering the two EMD37666.1 variants). Compared to CvTps1 and LoTps1, the closest sequences shared 85% identity and the most distant sequence only 42% identity.

Example 6 Functional Characterisation of Other Fungal Hydrolase-Like Bifunctional Sesquiterpene Synthases.

The cDNAs encoding for the 15 new putative synthases described in Example 5 were codon optimized and cloned in the pJ401 E. coli expression plasmid (pJ401, ATUM, Newark, California). The enzymes were functionally characterized in E. coli cells engineered to overproduce farnesyl-diphosphate (FPP) following the procedure described in example 4. Amongst the 15 new recombinant enzymes, 9 produced (+)-albicanol as major product: OCH93767.1, EMD37666.1, EMD37666-B, XP_001217376.1, 01198394.1, GA087501.1 XP_008034151.1, XP_007369631.1 and ACg006372 (FIGS. 7 and 8). These results confirm that these enzymes have bifunctional albicanol synthase enzymatic activities.

The 6 other new synthases, KIA75676.1, XP_001820867.2, CEN60542.1, XP_009547469.1 and KL009124.1 and OJ195797.1, produced (−)-drimenol as major product (FIG. 9). Drimenol is produced by a mechanism similar to the formation of albicanol and involving a class II followed by class I enzymatic activity.

For XP_001820867.2, the formation of a significant amount of trans-farnesol was detected (FIG. 9). This was likely due to lower enzymatic activity of this synthase and thus a significant amount of the farnesyl-diphosphate produced in the bacterial cell was not converted to drimenol. This excess farnesyl-diphosphate was hydrolyzed by the endogenous alkaline phosphatase and the trans-farnesol produced was released in the growing medium.

The two Pfam domains identified in CvTps1, i.e. PF13419.5 and PF13242.5 as described in Example 3, are also found in these new putative synthases as shown in Table 3.

Example 7

In-vitro assays.

Crude protein extracts containing the recombinant terpene synthases are prepared using KRX E. coli cells (Promega) or BL21 Star™ (DE3) E. coli (ThermoFisher). Single colonies of cells transformed with the expression plasmid are used to inoculate 5 ml LB medium. After 5 to 6 hours incubation at 37° C., the cultures are transferred to a 25° C. incubator and left 1 hour for equilibration. Expression of the protein is then induced by the addition of 1 mM IPTG and the cultures are incubated over-night at 25° C. The next day, the cells are collected by centrifugation, resuspended in 0.1 volume of 50 mM MOPSO pH 7 (3-Morpholino-2-hydroxypropanesulfonic acid (sigma-Aldrich), 10% glycerol and lyzed by sonication. The extracts are cleared by centrifugation (30 min at 20,000 g) and the supernatants containing the soluble proteins are used for further experiments.

These crude E. coli protein extracts containing the recombinant protein are used for the characterization of the enzymatic activities. The assays are performed in glass tubes in 2 mL of 50 mM MOPSO pH 7, 10% glycerol, 1 mM DTT, 15 mM MgCl2 in the presence of 80 μM of farnesyl-diphosphate (FPP, Sigma) and 0.1 to 0.5 mg of crude protein. The tubes are incubated 12 to 24 hours at 25° C. and extracted twice with one volume of pentane. After concentration under a nitrogen flux, the extracts are analyzed by GC-MS as described in Example 4 and compared to extracts from assays with control proteins. The aqueous phase is then treated by alkaline phosphatase (Sigma, 6 units/ml), followed by extraction with pentane and GC-MS analysis.

The assays without alkaline phosphatase treatment allow detecting and identifying the sesquiterpene compounds (hydrocarbons and oxygenated sesquiterpenes) present in the assay and produced by the recombinant enzymes. Albicanyl-diphosphate or drimenyl-diphosphate compounds are not soluble in the organic solvent and are thus not detected in the GC-MS analysis. Following the alkaline phosphatase treatment, allylic diphosphate bounds are cleaved and when albicanyl-diphosphate or drimenyl-diphosphate compounds are present, the sequiterpene moiety is released, extracted in the solvent phase and detected in the GC-MS analysis. This example allows to differentiate enzymes having only class II terpene synthase activity (such as AstC, NCBI accession XP_001822013.2, Shinohara Y. et al., 2016, Sci Rep. 6, 32865) from enzyme having class II terpene synthase-like activity and class I (phosphatase) activity such as CvTps1 and LoTps1.

Example 8 Co-Expression of Terpene Synthases and Phosphatases.

In Shinohara Y. et al., 2016, Sci Rep. 6, 32865 a drimane terpene synthase (AstC, NCBI accession XP_001822013.2) is described. This synthase produce a drimane sequiterpene bound to a diphosphate moiety. To produce a free drimane sesquiterpene the AstC enzyme must be combined with enzymes having phosphatase activity. The publication also describes two phosphatases AstI and AstK (XP_001822007.1 and XP_003189903.1) catalyzing the sequential cleavage of the phosphate moiety of the drimane-diphosphate produced by AstC.

Synthetic operons were designed to co-express the CvTps1 protein with the AstI and AstK proteins. The synthetic operon contains the optimized cDNA encoding for each of the 3 proteins separated by a ribosome binding sequence (RBS). A similar operon was designed to co-express AstC with AstI and AstK. The operons were synthesized and cloned in the pJ401 expression plasmid (ATUM, Newark, Calif.). E coli cells were co-transformed with these expression plasmids and with the pACYC-29258-4506 plasmid (Example 4) and the cells were cultivated under conditions to produce sesquiterpenes as described in Example 4. The sequiterpenes produced were analyzed by GCMS as described in Example 4 and compared to the sequiterpene profile of cells expression only CvTps1 or AstC.

As shown FIG. 10, with AstC a significant higher amount (78-fold increase) of sesquiterpene is produced when the enzyme is co-expressed with enzymes (AstI and AstK) having phosphatase activity. Typical concentrations of drimane sesquiterpene in the E. coli cultures were 2,600 mg/ml with cells expressing AstC, AstI and AstK and 34 mg/ml with cells expressing AstC alone.

In contrast, with CvTps1 no significant difference is observed for the amount of drimane sesquiterpene produced when the enzyme is expressed alone (1,000 mg/ml) or co-expressed with the phosphatases (1,200 mg/ml). This experiment confirms that the CvTps1 polypeptide, in contrast to the previously known AstC synthase, carries phosphatase activity in addition to the cyclase activity (i.e. class I and class II terpene synthase activity).

Example 9 Functional Characterisation of XP 006461126.1.

The NCBI accession No XP 006461126.1 from Agaricus bisporus was selected using the method described in Example 5. The XP006461126.1 amino acid (SEQ ID NO: 63) shared 48.9% and 48.1% identity with the CvTps1 and LoTps1 amino acid sequences, respectively. The XP_006461126.1 contains a class II terpene synthase-like motif (DLDT) (part of SEQ ID NO: 56) located between position 278 and 271 and a class I terpene synthase-like motif (DDKLE) (part of SEQ ID NO: 55) located at position 167 to 171. The amino acid contains also motifs characteristic of of the Haloacid dehalogenase-like hydrolase superfamily in the N-terminal region.

The cDNA encoding for XP 006461126.1 was codon optimized and cloned in the pJ401 E. coli expression plasmid (pJ401, ATUM, Newark, Calif.). The enzyme was functionally characterized in E. coli cells engineered to overproduce farnesyl-diphosphate (FPP) following the procedure described in Example 4. The results show that XP 006461126.1 is a bifunctional drimenol synthase producing drimenol as major compound (FIG. 11).

Example 10

In vivo drimane sesquiterpene production in Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells using fungal hydrolase-like bifunctional sesquiterpene synthases.

Different hydrolase-like bifunctional sesquiterpene synthases were evaluated for the production of drimane sesquiterpenes in S. cerevisiae cells. The selected synthases were:

-   -   XP_007369631.1, NCBI accession No XP_007369631.1, from         Dichomitus squalens     -   XP_006461126, NCBI accession No XP_006461126, from Agaricus         bisporus     -   LoTps1, SEQ ID NO: 5, from Laricifomes officinalis     -   EMD37666.1, NCBI accession No EMD37666.1, from Gelatoporia         subvermispora     -   XP_001217376.1, NCBI accession No XP_001217376.1, from         Aspergillus terreus

The codon usage of the cDNA encoding for the different synthases was modified for optimal expression in S. cerevisiae (SEQ ID NO: 66, SEQ ID NO: 67, SEQ ID NO: 68, SEQ ID NO: 69, SEQ ID NO: 70).

For expression of the different genes in S. cerevisiae, a set of plasmids were constructed in vivo using yeast endogenous homologous recombination as previously described in Kuijpers et al., Microb Cell Fact., 2013, 12:47. Each plasmid is composed by five DNA fragments which were used for S. cerevisiae co-transformation. The fragments were:

-   -   Fragment a: LEU2 yeast marker, constructed by PCR using the         primers 5′-AGGTGCAGTTCGCGTGCAATTATAACGTCGTGGCAACTGTTATCAGTCGTACC         GCGCCATTCGACTACGTCGTAAGGCC-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 71) and         5′-TCGTGGTCAAGGCGTGCAATTCTCAACACGAGAGTGATTCTTCGGCGTTGTTG         CTGACCATCGACGGTCGAGGAGAACTT -3′ (SEQ ID NO: 72) with the plasmid         pESC-LEU (Agilent Technologies, California, USA) as template;     -   Fragment b: AmpR E. coli marker, constructed by PCR using the         primers 5′-TGGTCAGCAACAACGCCGAAGAATCACTCTCGTGTTGAGAATTGCACGCCTT         GACCACGACACGTTAAGGGATTTTGGTCATGAG-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 73) and         5′-AACGCGTACCCTAAGTACGGCACCACAGTGACTATGCAGTCCGCACTTTGCC         AATGCCAAAAATGTGCGCGGAACCCCTA-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 74) with the plasmid         pESC-URA as template;     -   Fragment c: Yeast origin of replication, obtained by PCR using         the primers         5′-TTGGCATTGGCAAAGTGCGGACTGCATAGTCACTGTGGTGCCGTACTTAGGG         TACGCGTTCCTGAACGAAGCATCTGTGCTTCA-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 75) and         5′-CCGAGATGCCAAAGGATAGGTGCTATGTTGATGACTACGACACAGAACTGCG         GGTGACATAATGATAGCATTGAAGGATGAGACT-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 76) with         pESC-URA as template;     -   Fragment d: E. coli replication origin, obtained by PCR using         the primers         5′-ATGTCACCCGCAGTTCTGTGTCGTAGTCATCAACATAGCACCTATCCTTTGGC         ATCTCGGTGAGCAAAAGGCCAGCAAAAGG-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 77) and         5′-CTCAGATGTACGGTGATCGCCACCATGTGACGGAAGCTATCCTGACAGTGTA         GCAAGTGCTGAGCGTCAGACCCCGTAGAA-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 78) with the         plasmid pESC-URA as template and     -   Fragment e: A fragment composed by the last 60 nucleotides of         the fragment “d”, 200 nucleotides downstream the stop codon of         the yeast gene PGKJ, one of the hydrolase-like bifunctional         sesquiterpene synthase coding sequences tested, codon optimized         for its expression in S. cerevisiae, the promoter of GAL1 and 60         nucleotides corresponding to the beginning of the fragment “a”.         These fragments were obtained by DNA synthesis (ATUM, Newark,         Calif.).

To increase the level of endogenous farnesyl-diphosphate (FPP) pool in S. cerevisiae cells, an extra copy of all the yeast endogenous genes involved in the mevalonate pathway, from ERGIO coding for acetyl-CoA C-acetyltransferase to ERG20 coding for FPP synthetase, were integrated in the genome of the S. cerevisiae strain CEN.PK2-1C (Euroscarf, Frankfurt, Germany) under the control of galactose-inducible promoters, similarly as described in Paddon et al., Nature, 2013, 496:528-532. Briefly, three cassettes were integrated in the LEU2, TRP1 and URA3 loci respectively. A first cassette containing the genes ERG20 and a truncated HMG1 (tHMG1 as described in Donald et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 1997, 109:E111-8) under the control of the bidirectional promoter of GAL10/GAL1 and the genes ERG19 and ERG13 also under the control of GAL10/GAL1 promoter, the cassette was flanked by two 100 nucleotides regions corresponding to the up- and down-stream sections of LEU2. A second cassette where the genes IDI1 and tHMG1 were under the control of the GAL10/GAL1 promoter and the gene ERG13 under the control of the promoter region of GAL7, the cassette was flanked by two 100 nucleotides regions corresponding to the up- and down-stream sections of TRP1. A third cassette with the genes ERG10, ERG12, tHMG1 and ERG8, all under the control of GAL10/GAL1 promoters, the cassette was flanked by two 100 nucleotides regions corresponding to the up- and down-stream sections of URA3. All genes in the three cassettes included 200 nucleotides of their own terminator regions. Also, an extra copy of GAL4 under the control of a mutated version of its own promoter, as described in Griggs and Johnston, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 1991, 88:8597-8601, was integrated upstream the ERG9 promoter region. In addition, the endogenous promoter of ERG9 was replaced by the yeast promoter region of CTR3 generating the strain YST035. Finally, YST035 was mated with the strain CEN.PK2-1D (Euroscarf, Frankfurt, Germany) obtaining a diploid strain termed YST045.

YST045 was transformed with the fragments required for in vivo plasmid assembly. Yeast transformations were performed with the lithium acetate protocol as described in Gietz and Woods, Methods Enzymol., 2002, 350:87-96. Transformation mixtures were plated on SmLeu-media containing 6.7 g/L of Yeast Nitrogen Base without amino acids (BD Difco, New Jersey, USA), 1.6 g/L Dropout supplement without leucine (Sigma Aldrich, Missouri, USA), 20 g/L glucose and 20 g/L agar. Plates were incubated for 3-4 days at 30° C. Individual colonies were used to produce drimane sesquiterpenes in tubes or shake flasks containing media as described in Westfall et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 2012, 109:E111-118 and mineral oil ((2705-01, J.T. Baker, Avantor Performance Materials, Inc. Center Valley, Pa., USA) as organic overlay. Under these culture conditions, albicanol or drimenol were produced with all hydrolase-like bifunctional sesquiterpene synthases tested. The production of drimane sesquiterpenes was identified using GC-MS analysis and quantified by GC-FID (see FIG. 12) with an internal standard. The table below shows the quantities of drimane sesquiterpene produced relative to the quantity obtained by the synthase XP 007369631.1 (under these experimental conditions, the concentration of drimane sesquiterpene produced by cells expressing XP 007369631.1 was 805 to 854 mg/L, the highest quantity produced).
